The Bachelorette - Season 12 - JoJo Fletcher - Epi 9 - July 25th - FS - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

What's so bad about kicking Chase to the curb when they get in the fantasy suite? First of all, HE'S the one that is supposed to accept the fantasy suite date card...not HER. And second of all, seems like she sends him home before the cameras leave the room. So they probably only spent an hour or two in there and sometime in that hour or two she decided she didn't want to follow through. Chase is probably more peeved that they didn't get to do any hanky panky than anything else.

IMO.

Don't offer it if she's not feeling it. Say addio's before the FS IMO. Scripted, maybe a good thing for me, so we get to see a heartbroken F3/TB. IMHO

^ They're never "heartbroken". He would of been more "heartbroken" had they actually spent the entire night together. Sexy times and all.

IMO.

I long ago decided to hate the game not the players...especially the leads. Theyre all obligated to play along..whether theyre feeling it or not, if they didnt most seasons wouldnt get past episode 5! What gets me is all the contestants who want special treatment .....(Please dont lead me on" ...."let me go once you know your not feeling it" ....it just not possible folks! Its the nature of the beast...if you dont want to be led on....dont go on the show! It is what is .... Hearts are involved and feelings get hurt but thats the premise of the show. 24 of the 25 are going home disappointed or heartbroken.

I think she has been stringing all of them along the whole show.

I keep forgetting JoJo is the Lead on this show. Chase getting eliminated after going into the FS before any action has got to be a blow to his ego. Any dude and many gals would feel this way. Sorry...I changed my mind and I'm just not sexually into you......embarrassing. Thanks for saying ILY though...see ya.    JMO

Episode description from TV Guide...

The rose ceremony after the hometown dates continues and one man is sent home. Later, JoJo and the three remaining bachelors fly to Thailand for their exotic overnight dates, where JoJo realizes she is in love with two men. Link

all leads string along the contestants till their elimination or in the very rare case, self elimination.
this one is no different.

Exactly!  All cast is strung along by the lead, their handlers and production, even the F1, to a certain extent.  This is nothing new.  And if they didn't, there wouldn't be a show.  So, I'm not seeing how Jojo's at fault there.

Sure, she should have not given him the FS card and/or let him go before taking him to it.  It is kind of mean/rude to get in there and start talking and then dismiss him.  But I'm thinking its more wounded pride than actual broken heart or hurt feelings on Chase's part. Maybe seeing it play out will help and make me want him to be the bachelor.  #givemesomesprinkles  JMO

The only thing Id personally call leading someone on would be to have sex with them or come out and say i love you (Ben!) to someone who isnt your F1 ...other than that, its the "game". Going into the FS with someone doesnt mean sex is a must....its a decision.

saying "I love you" to someone prematurely (according to this shows format) and then telling them I love someone else more is outright lying and not just leading them on.

But yes, on this show 24 people are lead on. Nothing new.

Yikes for a season that was signed, sealed & delivered before it started, the producers sure made a mess of things

Bolding by me...

I've only been loosely following the show. I'll have it on in the background while I am doing other things and only watch bits and pieces of it. This season reminds me so much of Andi's. In the same way that Josh was the chosen F1 before the season even began, I feel the same is true for Jojo's season with Jordan. Nothing against the leads or their F1's (I seriously really like most of them), but as a viewer, it isn't even enjoyable for me to watch when basically from night 1 you know who the F1 is without reading the spoilers or doing some major sluething. I didn't read the spoilers until after the first couple of episodes, and I was very confident that Jordan was the F1 after the first episode. I then sought out the spoilers, and I was right. Then I read that they were maybe communicating even before the show, and, IMO, it really makes me feel for the other contestants. It just isn't fair and it's not an even playing field. If they knew they were interested in each other, then they should have dated IRL and declined from appearing on the show. I know the lead can only pick one F1, but when the winner is preordained, it makes it a waste of time for the other contestants and the viewers, IMO. That's just my opinion. I just wish they wouldn't have any more famous/semi-famous/people with famous siblings/etc. on this show. I feel in a season like that (Matt Grant - he picked Shayne Lamas, Andi, Jojo), it's always the "famous" person who wins.
